I have children both younger and older than 5 years old. Can they all come to Tot Time Open Swim?

Families with children ages 5 and younger can bring other children up to age 7 during Tot Time Open Swim. If siblings are age 8 or older, we ask that families attend a regular Open Swim session in the recreational pool. Tot Time Open Swim is intended to give toddlers a comfortable environment to explore the new pool.

What is the purpose of the double locker rooms, one on lobby side one on pool side?

The men’s, women’s and family locker rooms near the Community Center lobby open to a tile hallway that connects to both the competition pool area and the recreational pool (with the play features). There are also men’s and women’s tile locker rooms that connect swimmers to the competition pools. Patrons are welcome to use any of the locker rooms. The men’s and women’s tile locker rooms are geared toward participants using the competition pools. If you are using those locker rooms and wish to exit to the recreational pool, you may do so by using the east door that leads to the tile hallway outside the rec pool.

Where do I check in when using the Aquatics Center?

Starting Sunday, May 1, everyone using the Aquatics Center pools, slide and spa (excluding rental groups that have been pre-approved by Community Center staff) must wear a Community Center-issued wristband. Patrons must obtain a new wristband at the Community Center front desk each day they visit the Aquatics Center.

The wristband policy ensures that everyone using the Aquatics Center has checked in at the front desk. A wristband is an easy visual for our staff to see, and by having participants wearing it, we avoid having to interrupt during their time enjoying the facility to verify that they have checked in.

Will the recreation pool and slide ever be open all day for Open Swim?

The recreational pool schedule will be evaluated weekly and modified based on demand and peak usage hours. Because it is a zero-depth entry pool, the state requires that lifeguards be on duty whenever children 17 and under are present. Any time the water slide is open, there also needs to be an attendant and lifeguard monitoring the slide. The pool is intended to provide the community with a variety of aquatic opportunities including, swimming lessons, open swim, adult fitness classes, etc. Please check the Aquatics Center page for updated schedules.
